According to
Daniel Pemberton, “Much like how Darren Aronofsky and the rest of the team
wanted One Strange Rock to feel radically different to anything like it before,
I wanted continue that ethos with the soundtrack album. I wanted to make it
much more of an immersive listening experience than just a standard collection
of cues from across the series—something that reconnects you with the stories,
the visuals and the world when you hear it.” I can honestly say that I have
never heard anything like the score created for One Strange Rock by
Pemberton.

The One Strange Rock Soundtrack features a very innovative score
and the version I received contained four lengthy
tracks, each running over eleven minutes. The score contains a sci-fi sound
which goes perfectly with the theme of the series – exploring our Earth and how
it works as told by eight legendary astronauts. There’s something cosmic about
that and this score perfectly encapsulates the feeling. The entire score
features a multitude of sounds, featuring a variety of unusual instrumentation,
electronic sound, and manipulation that somehow creates an alien tone to the
music. Some things you might note while listening to this score: drum brushes
striking metal, manipulated vocals that seems to simulate an alien sort of jazz scat, ambient sounds that emulate wind and more. Though I found the entire
album to be quite entertaining, I found the final track to be very soothing with
its instrumentation mixed with ambient sound.

If listening
to this soundtrack was so enjoyable, I can only imagine the amazing adventure
listening to this soundtrack blended with the amazing visuals of the series
would create. The musical score of One Strange Rock by Daniel Pemberton
is definitely a must listen!
